(Bye the way: how did they get corrupt?) I was testing my new routines (BoundaryPreparer with QuadTree) with all european bnd files. That crashed at some point. While debugging the code with a smaller input in --createboundsfile I got errors for the previously produced wrong bnd files. The new BoundaryPreparer is really a difficult to code. I had to sort out where my algorithm was wrong and where the OSM data contains errors. It's hard to say when results are only 99.9% identical to the trunk, but I am still optimistic. > One should never create the .bnd files in a directory where bnd files > already exist. Okay, I've learned that the hard way ;-) Ciao, Gerd > > WanMil > > > > > Gerd > > > > -- > > View this message in context: > > http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Hint-regarding-creation-of-bnd-files-with-mkgmap-tp5432439p5432439.html > > Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > _______________________________________________ > > mkgmap-dev mailing list > > [email protected] > > http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev > > _______________________________________________ > mkgmap-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
